A Mental Symphony

A Mental Symphony
Sleep in the fire, in thorns and decay
Dreams and desires they have all been a waste
I'm getting closer, so close to awake
So close to what life's been, yet still so far away

Dancing through days...
where the pain ascend in a thousand ways
Dancing through nights...
where the darkness strikes me from inside
Dancing through life...
where its strife enshrines all my desires
Dancing through death...
a dance with the devil and a flirt with the dead
Leaving the fire, abandon the flames
Lost in denial, all your life's been in vain
Life growing colder, it's closing in on you
I know you're going down, but there's no more I can do
Calm me down to the sound of my insanity
Voices screaming, astral dreaming
A mental symphony...
En 'A Mental Symphony' de Sirenia, la canción nos transporta a un mundo de fuego, espinas y decadencia donde los sueños y deseos parecen haber sido en vano. La letra evoca una sensación de estar al borde de la claridad, de despertar de un letargo profundo pero aún sintiéndose distante de lo que ha sido la vida hasta ahora....
